ERROR IN CLINIC TAKES SIGHT OF 40 CHILDREN no doubt will be followed with much interest by many farmers. In connection with the use of bet ter machinery for farming, an im portant lesson may be gotten from the following: To a Man and His Mule. Place: Anywhere in S. C. Time: Anytime. Over the hill trailed a man behind a mule drawing a Dixie plow. The clodhopper was ‘‘broadcasting.” ‘‘Bill, yqu are a mule, a son of a jackass, and I am a man made in the image of God. Yet, here we work hitched to gether, year in and year out. I often wonder if you work for me or I work for you. Sometimes I think this is a partnership between a mule and a fool. For surely I work harder than you do. Plowing here, we cover the same distance, but you do it on four legs and Pon two. So, mathematically speaking, I do twice as much work per leg as you do. “Soon we'U be preparing for a corn crop. When the com is harvested I give one-third to the landlord for be ing kind enough to let me use this corner of God's universe. Another goes to you, and what is left after the weevils and mice have had their share goes to me. But while you consume all of yours except a few cobs, I ^livide mine among seven children, six hens, two ducks and the bank. Bill, darn you, you are getting the best of me; it ain't fair for a mule, the son of a jackass, to rob a man, the Lord of creation, of his substance. And, come to think of it, you only help to culti vate the ground. While me and the family is hard at work pulling fodder for you on a hot August day, you are over there in the pasture giving us the hee-haw. “All fall and part of the winter, the whole family, from granny on down to the baby, pick cotton to help raise money to buy your harness and pay the interest on the mortgage on you, and anyway what do you care about mortgages? It doesn’t worry you any—not a dam bit. You leave that to me, you ungrateful, onery cuss.”— Adapted from an article in the Rice Journal by J. T. McAllister, Clemson College, S. C.—Prepared by H. G. Boylston, County Agent. Wonder if Marion Talley will have to do a little singing this winter to raise next spring’s fertilizer money. Athens, January 15.—Forty school children were made blind for life to day through a scientific £rror. The children had gone to the eye hospital at Kesaron near here to have their sight tested. Attendants sprayed their eyes with a liquid. The liquid proved to be a cauteriz ing fluid. The shrieks of the blinded children brought doctors on the run, but nothing could be done to save the victims’ vision. The tragedy was attributed to the fact that the children were taken into the wrong room at the hospital, where other patients had been treated for various . infectious diseases of the eyes. The attendants were not/amil- iar with the liquids there. The attitude of the Athens popu lace became so menacing after the mishap that the minister of health ordered the trial of all oculists work ing at the hospital clinic. An improved method of transmit ting electricity long distances with out leakage of current is announced by German engineers. Progress in solving the problem of sending natural color talking pic tures by television is reported.

Vicks is especially appreciated by mothers because it is just rubbed on, and therefore, cannot upset children’s delicate stomachs as “dos ing” is so apt to do. Today the whole trend of medical practice is away from needless “dosing.''
